Paint safe degreaser?

I'm finally going to get the oil leak in my car fixed and I need to clean the whole driver side of the car since it has a light coating of oil on the paint.  It's not super noticeable on a black car, but it does take down the shine a lot.  I was just wondering if there is a good way to take the grime off without using an abrasive degreaser.

I use EZ or 2EZ big rig degreaser. It's a white bottle with bluish purple writing. The only place I have found it is at a TA travel center truck stop. It works really well and hasn't dulled or removed any paint. I've even used it to get the yellow out of my headlights. Just spray it on, let it sit and wipe. Continue to do this until the area is clean.
